I have decided to start a blog about my thoughts and reflections on my future hopes of being Elphaba in the Broadway company of Wicked.
I dwell on this idea every single day, countless times, and consider the many roads and twists my future could take. I can't describe the deep sense of longing I feel about it.
Every time I see a shooting star, blow out a birthday candle, or make a wish on a blown away eyelash, I wish the same thing: I want to be Elphaba on Broadway; I want to be Elphaba on Broadway.
The crazy thing is that this dream is so new. It was only in September that I discovered the musical Wicked and began studying and learning the music, the characters and the performers (Broadway, London and the touring group).
I had an instant attachment to Elphaba when I first heard the songs she sang. After reading the book and seeing peaks of the Broadway performance on youtube I discovered that this Elphaba character was a lot like me. Not very popular or fashionable, but caring and strong willed; she cares about what others think but tries not to show it wanting to be strong and without weakness. I'll probably have more to say about her character but that's good for now.
All in all I just relate the most to Elphaba and feel that I could play her quite easily. I've never felt that there was a part in a musical that I seriously fit but I feel like I've found that part in Elphaba. That's all my thoughts for now. Be back soon.
